Zem Zem,

Your idiot, fake fiancé is going crazy. Even after two and a half months, my longing to see you aren't going anywhere. You'll not believe me and I've no means to prove it but I'm missing you badly. To the point of insanity.

I miss your grunting laughter, which I don't know why you think is similar to a hyena's laugh. I miss your chicken dance after you serve me that unsavory health drink that can induce food poisoning. Most of all, I miss seeing you smile and roll your eyes at my wacky jokes.

Oh, gorgeous, just the thought of you makes my heart ache.

Zem, remember the mission I had? We're successful in securing the parameter. Though it may sound easy, I assure you it wasn't. For the first time, I was scared, Zem. Fearful of a rogue mine blowing up underneath me or someone raining down bullets.

I now know how fear brings out hidden emotions. God, you'd hate me for this but I promise, I'll make it up to you when I return.

I love you, Zem. I'm in love with you.

Dammit, I accept I'm an idiot, to not confess it when you did. I'm sorry for putting you through hell without noticing what I really felt. Believe me when I say that I want to stand on top of a dinner table here, grab everyone's attention and shout it out.

Zemira Ford, I'm in love with you. I fucking love you, baby.

I was a fool to reject your love. Now, I'm being punished to write it out and not see your reaction. Whether you are going to tear up this letter or you'll cry over it, I'll never know. It's my karmic punishment for hurting you.

You know, when my team talks about calling their girlfriends and wives, I think of you. When the thought of death grips me, my biggest worry is not being able to see you again.

I can't undo the past, gorgeous, but I promise to rectify our future.

I hope you'll give me one more chance, Zem. A chance to see and tell you again how much I love you. A chance for me to redeem us, to build a life with you that you deserve. I wish you were here so you can see for yourself, what your absence is doing to me.

I wish for all this to be over soon so I can arrive at your doorstep, beg for your forgiveness and tell you the truth I carry in my heart.

I need you, Zem. I need my air, baby.

Love you, my fake fiancée, friends forever.

Think we'll need better nicknames now, love.

Yours and only yours

Leo
